EssentialTension Posted February 18, 2011 Posted February 18, 2011 (edited) I know nothing about the Warwicks but I have an old earlier version of the Michael Kelly Dragonfly 4 and it works well for me. However, I've heard a lot of complaints about the Micheal Kellys too. There's no substitute for actually playing the bass and giving it a thorough examination.

stingrayPete1977 Posted February 18, 2011 Posted February 18, 2011 I have an early version of one of these, [url="http://www.alangregory.co.uk/music/Ozark_3385N_Acoustic_Bass_Guitar.html"]http://www.alangregory.co.uk/music/Ozark_3...ass_Guitar.html[/url] Its basically the same but the new one has a proper preamp where mine just has volume/tone pots. The woods used are very nice and its got a great sound also its not a bad looking acoustic IMO. No neck issues or nasty faults over 10 years old so you could do worse. I just wish I had a 5 string acoustic now, you have given me some more gas! Quote
EddHytheTown Posted February 19, 2011 Posted February 19, 2011 May I point you shamelessly in the direction of the Ibanez I have on the marketplace: [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=73720"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=73720[/url] It is a lovely bass but I just couldn't get to grips with it.

g0me2z Posted February 19, 2011 Author Posted February 19, 2011 ok i think that i found my new guitar what do you thing about this one? I am almost sure that i will buy it. [url="http://www.thomann.de/gb/takamine_egb2sbk.htm"]http://www.thomann.de/gb/takamine_egb2sbk.htm[/url] Quote
The Burpster Posted February 19, 2011 Posted February 19, 2011 The Takamine is a pretty good bass, but have a look at these before you pull the trigger - [url="http://www.thomann.de/gb/ovation_b778tx5_elite_tx_bass.htm"]http://www.thomann.de/gb/ovation_b778tx5_elite_tx_bass.htm[/url] Ovation are really good and this model especially. (although Thomann list this as the B778TX-5 its actually a B778TX-4 shown) Bugger them bugger them bugger them...! I thought I had cured my Ovation gas but this just looks sick.....! Quote
absolutpepper Posted February 19, 2011 Posted February 19, 2011 For the OP, +1 on that Ibby. I have the earlier Ibanez AE10B and its a great a/c bass. I tried out about a half dozen or so at the time (Fender, Warwick, Epiphone) and the Ibanez offered best sound and playability! Quote
g0me2z Posted February 20, 2011 Author Posted February 20, 2011 i dont have taht much money. My maximum is about 350. Damn i will pull the trigger and shot in my head ;/ It is harder then buying a nec computer Quote
Grand Wazoo Posted February 20, 2011 Posted February 20, 2011 I like this one a lot [url="http://www.thomann.de/gb/ibanez_aeb10e_dvs.htm"]http://www.thomann.de/gb/ibanez_aeb10e_dvs.htm[/url] thinline neck, lightweight a very decent preamp / eq. Quote
